30 May
Summary
- Coco Gauff, the defending champion, was eliminated in the third round.
- Anastasia Potapova secured a comeback victory after losing the first set.
- Potapova advances to the fourth round at Roland Garros for the first time.
Defending champion Coco Gauff has been knocked out of the French Open in a dramatic third-round match. Anastasia Potapova secured a significant upset victory over the American fourth seed with a final score of 4-6, 7-6 (7-1), 6-4. This marks Potapova's maiden voyage to the fourth round at Roland Garros.
Potapova's tenacious defense proved challenging for Gauff, the two-time Grand Slam champion. The match featured considerable shifts in momentum before Potapova sealed her impressive win. Gauff's early exit follows similar unexpected departures from top contenders like Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic earlier in the week. Potapova is now set to face Anna Kalinskaya in the next round.
